I was out at a meeting for the morning so we had an occasional teacher in the class for the morning. The class did the morning message, graphed the temperature and then wrote in their Journals. If they could talk to any animal what animal would it be and what would you ask them.
The class then went to Drama/DPA with Ms. Leung.
After recess they worked on a Math sheet about money.
After lunch, we reviewed the character we created yesterday and the idea of inner and outer characteristics. We also talked about how we sometimes use others words like traits, or personality when we talk about characters. We then went to our desk and we drew a detailed picture of our character. Then in writing, we described their inner and outer characteristics, hobbies and favourite food. If students completed this task, they could complete their Math, Journal or work on Spelling.
After recess, the class had 15 min. to work on the money sheet. If it was incomplete it was sent home for homework. With the remaining 30 min. we practiced the "Jazz Jazz 2011" song we are working on for our video, and we also listened to and watched more video of Duke Ellington and Count Basie. We looked closely at the instruments used and also enjoyed watching the happy upbeat movements of the dancers at the time.
